Description
- The present disclosure relates to a surgical device and, more particularly, relates to a surgical portal apparatus for use during a minimally invasive surgical procedure including a surgical tape for sealing the wound through which the surgical portal apparatus was placed to access a surgical site.
- Many surgical procedures are performed through small incisions in the skin, as compared to the larger incisions typically required in traditional procedures, in an effort to reduce both trauma to the patient and recovery time. Generally, such procedures are referred to as "endoscopic", unless performed on the patient's abdomen, in which case the procedure is referred to as "laparoscopic". Throughout the present disclosure, the term "minimally invasive" should be understood to encompass both endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures.
- Generally, in minimally invasive surgical procedures, surgical portal apparatus, such as trocars and cannulas, permit the introduction of a variety of surgical instruments into a body cavity or incision. A surgical portal apparatus is introduced through a cavity or incision to provide access to an underlying surgical site in the body. The incision is typically made using an obturator having a blunt or sharp radius within the passageway of the surgical portal apparatus. For example, a trocar has a cannula, a tube of rigid, thin wall construction, through which an obturator may be distally passed. The obturator is utilized to penetrate a body wall, such as an abdominal wall, or to introduce the surgical portal apparatus through the body wall, and is then removed from the surgical portal apparatus to permit introduction of surgical instrumentation utilized to perform the procedure therethrough.
- Post-surgery, wound closure devices, such as sutures, are used to close the various layers of tissue (e.g., dermis, facias, muscle, peritoneum, etc.) of the formed wound. Suturing a patient after removal of a surgical portal apparatus may be cumbersome, while accumulating additional costs to the patient such as increased time spent in the operating room. For example, manual suturing may take approximately 2-4 minutes per surgical portal apparatus, with 4-8 surgical portal apparatus typically being utilized per procedure.
- It would be desirable to provide a surgical portal apparatus with an integrated wound closure material that can quickly and easily effect closure of a wound without the need for a separate applicator.
-
EP 2361567 discloses a device corresponding to the preamble of claim 1. - A surgical portal apparatus in accordance with the present disclosure includes a sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end that extends along a longitudinal axis and a surgical tape. The sleeve includes an inner wall defining an internal longitudinal passageway dimensioned for permitting passage of a surgical object therethrough and an outer wall configured for positioning against tissue. The inner and outer walls define at least a partial annular space therebetween, the annular space being in fluid communication with an opening in the outer wall. The surgical tape includes a body portion retained within the annular space of the sleeve and a leading tab extendable through the opening in the outer wall of the sleeve. The surgical tape has a first surface and a second surface, each of the first and second surfaces having at least one of tissue reactive functional groups and self-reactive functional groups.
- Exemplary methods of using the surgical portal apparatus are also described. In accordance with the present disclosure, a surgical portal, as described above, may be introduced into a body cavity through a wound in tissue. The leading tab of the surgical tape, which is configured to allow for placement of the surgical portal apparatus within the wound prior to substantial fixation with the tissue of the wound, is positioned against tissue. Surgical tasks are performed through the internal longitudinal passageway of the sleeve. The sleeve is then manipulated to release the body portion of the surgical tape within the tissue of the wound. The surgical portal apparatus is then removed and the wound closed.

In the following discussion, the term "proximal" should be understood as referring to the portion of a structure that is closer to a clinician during proper use, and the term "distal" should be understood as referring to the portion of a structure that is further from the clinician during proper use. As used herein, the term "patient" should be understood as referring to a human subject or other animal, and the term "clinician" should be understood as referring to a doctor, nurse or other care provider and may include support personnel.
- Referring now to the drawings,
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate an embodiment of a surgicalportal apparatus 10 of the present disclosure.Portal apparatus 10 includes aseal housing 20 mounted to asleeve 30. -
Seal housing 20 includes aproximal end portion 22, adistal end portion 24, and asidewall 26 connecting theproximal end portion 22 and thedistal end portion 24.Proximal end portion 22 includes anaperture 28 aligned with a central housing axis "a" that is adapted for receiving surgical objects andinstruments 12 of varying diameters therethrough. Examples of surgical objects and instruments which may be introduced through the surgical portal apparatus include clip appliers, graspers, dissectors, retractors, staplers, laser probes, photographic devices, endoscopes, laparoscopes, arthroscopes, tubes, electrosurgical cutting, coagulating, and ablation devices, and other tools within the purview of those skilled in the art. - The
seal housing 20 may incorporate aseal 40 which, either alone or in combination with avalve 44, provides a substantial seal between a body cavity of a patient and the outside atmosphere before, during, and after insertion of asurgical instrument 12 through the surgicalportal apparatus 10. A fluid tight interface is maintained via theseal 40 about the insertedsurgical instrument 12. This substantially prevents gas and/or liquid leakage from the established surgical site so as to preserve the atmospheric integrity of a surgical procedure.Sidewall 26 may define one or more internal peripheral channels or recesses 27 for receiving a portion or component of theseal 40 and/orvalve 44. Internal peripheral channel orrecess 27 may be defined along any portion of thesidewall 26. -
Seal 40 may be generally disc shaped and sized to fit within theseal housing 20.Seal 40 including an opening or slit 42 that is configured to form a fluid-tight fit about thesurgical instrument 12. As illustrated in the current embodiment, theseal 40 is flat or planar. It is envisioned that theseal 40 may be any shape, such as having a tapered or funneled profile, for sealing and maintaining the integrity of the established surgical site.Seal 40 may be a gel seal, fabric seal, elastomeric seal, or combinations thereof. -
Valve 44 may be placed distal, or internal to, theseal 40.Valve 44 may be a zero-closure valve such as a duck-bill valve having aslit 46 which is adapted to close in the absence of asurgical instrument 12 and/or in response to insufflation gases of the pressurized cavity. Further,valve 44 prevents fluids or debris from entering theseal housing 20 when thevalve 44 is closed. Fluid pressure on thevalve 44 will close theslit 46 thereby sealing theseal housing 20 from fluids. When a surgical object orinstrument 12 is inserted through thevalve 44, however, a seal is not always formed around thesurgical instrument 12 thereby allowing some fluid to enter theseal housing 20 wherein theseal 40 prevent the fluid from exiting theseal housing 20. In the alternative,valve 44 may be a gel seal, balloon valve, or a flapper valve. -
Distal end portion 24 ofportal housing 20 including a joiningmember 25 for joining theseal housing 20 to thesleeve 30.Distal end portion 24 may be selectively releasably connectable to thesleeve 30 to cooperatively couple theseal housing 20 to thesleeve 30. Various means for releasably securing or connecting theseal housing 20 to thesleeve 30 are envisioned including a bayonet coupling, snap-fit, frictional fit, tongue and groove arrangement, threaded arrangement, cam-lock mechanisms, or the like. As illustrated in the current embodiment, sealhousing 20 is secured to thesleeve 30 via snap fit.Seal housing 20 may be mounted to thesleeve 30 before, during, or after, application of thesleeve 30 within the operative site. Alternatively, sealhousing 20 may be permanently secured to thesleeve 30 by conventions means, such as, for example, ultrasonic welding, use of adhesives, or by monolithically forming theseal housing 20 with thesleeve 30. -
Sleeve 30 may be any portal member suitable for the intended purpose of accessing a body cavity and defines a central longitudinal axis "b" extending along the length of thesleeve 30 from aproximal end 32 to adistal end 34. As illustrated, the central longitudinal axis "b" of thesleeve 30 may be coincident with the central housing axis "a" of theseal housing 20 when theseal housing 20 is mounted to thesleeve 30.Sleeve 30 further defines an internallongitudinal passageway 36 dimensioned to permit introduction and passage of asurgical instruments 12 therethrough.Sleeve 30 may be transparent, translucent, or opaque and may be formed of any suitable medical grade material, such as metal materials, like stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum; polymeric materials, like acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polycarbonate, and polystyrene; and other rigid materials and combinations thereof as envisioned by one skilled in the art.Sleeve 30 may or may not include means for facilitating retention of thesleeve 30 within tissue. Such means include a plurality of locking elements, ribs, or other locking arrangements within the purview of those skilled in the art. - With reference now to
FIG. 3 , in conjunction withFIGS. 1 and 2 ,sleeve 30 includes aninner wall 50 and anouter wall 52 defining a substantially cylindricalannular space 54 therebetween. Theannular space 54 is dimensioned to receive asurgical tape 60, or other wound closure material. In embodiments, theouter wall 52 of thesleeve 30 includes, or is covered by, a non-adherent absorbent material, such as gauze, to remove excess fluid from tissue in which thesleeve 30 is placed thereby wiping and/or drying the surrounding tissue for application of thesurgical tape 60 thereto. -
Surgical tape 60 includes abody portion 65 which may be wrapped around theinner wall 50 of thesleeve 30 to retain thesurgical tape 60 therein. Anopening 56 is configured and dimensioned to allow passage of thesurgical tape 60 from within theannular space 54 of thesleeve 30. In embodiments, theopening 56 is a longitudinal slot in theouter wall 52 of thesleeve 30 extending along a portion of the length of thesleeve 30, in some embodiments, along substantially the entire length of thesleeve 30. As illustrated,surgical tape 60 includes a leadingtab 66 extending from thebody portion 65 retained within theannular space 54 of thesleeve 30 through theopening 56. - Alternatively, the leading
tab 66 may be retained within theannular space 54 of thesleeve 30 and rotated out of theopening 56 in theouter wall 52 via arotatable knob 21. As illustrated inFIGS. 5A and 5B , anupper portion 21a of theknob 21 extends through theseal housing 20 and alower portion 21b is affixed to theinner wall 50 of thesleeve 30. Accordingly, manual rotation of theupper portion 21a of theknob 21 will rotate theinner wall 50 of thesleeve 30. As illustrated inFIG. 5C , for example, the leadingtab 66 of thesurgical tape 60 may be aligned with theopening 56 in theouter wall 52 of thesleeve 30 such that upon rotation of theknob 21 in the direction shown by the arrow, thesurgical tape 60 is rotated out of thesleeve 30. In embodiments, at least a part of thebody portion 65 of thesurgical tape 60 may be temporarily affixed to theinner wall 50 to aid in the rotation of thesurgical tape 60 with theinner wall 50. - In other embodiments, the
opening 56 in theouter wall 52 may be covered by a retractable window ordoor 58.FIG. 5D illustrates adoor 58 that is connected to theinner wall 50 of thesleeve 30. Rotation of the knob 21 (FIGS. 5A and 5B ) moves thedoor 58 between a closed position in which thedoor 58 covers and seals theopening 56 in theouter wall 52 thereby protecting thesurgical tape 60 within theannular space 54 of thesleeve 30, and an open position which allows for passage of thesurgical tape 60 through theopening 56 in theouter wall 52. Thedoor 58 may include ahinge 59 so that thedoor 58 may be positioned within theopening 56 in theouter wall 52 to form a continuous outer surface with theouter wall 52. The rotation of the knob 21 (FIGS. 5A and 5B ) in the direction of the arrow shown inFIG. 5D , retracts thedoor 58 into theannular space 54 of thesleeve 30, unblocking theopening 56 in theouter wall 52. Other mechanical mechanisms within the purview of those skilled are also envisioned for actuating thedoor 58 in relation to theopening 56 in theouter wall 52. - Leading
tab 66 may be an integral part of thebody portion 65 ofsurgical tape 60 or may be independent thereof and attached thereto. It should be understood that the length of theopening 56 and thesurgical tape 60 may vary depending upon the depth of incision and length of thesleeve 30 being utilized in a given surgical procedure.

Surgical tape 60 is fabricated from any biocompatible material.Surgical tape 60 may be a biodegradable and/or non-biodegradable material which may be natural or synthetic. The term "biodegradable" as used herein is defined to include both bioabsorbable and bioresorbable materials. By biodegradable, it is meant that the material decomposes, or loses structural integrity under body conditions (e.g., enzymatic degradation or hydrolysis), or is broken down (physically or chemically) under physiologic conditions in the body, such that the degradation products are excretable or absorbable by the body. Absorbable materials are absorbed by biological tissues and disappear in vivo at the end of a given period, which can vary, for example, from hours to several months, depending on the chemical nature of the material. It should be understood that such materials include natural, synthetic, bioabsorbable, and/or certain non-absorbable materials, as well as combinations thereof.Surgical tapes 60 utilizing biodegradable materials enable quick and complete wound healing to occur without permanently leaving a foreign material within tissue, whilesurgical tapes 60 fabricated from non-biodegradable materials provide continuous reinforcement and support to tissue. - Non-limiting examples of natural biodegradable polymers from which the surgical tape may be made include: proteins such as collagen, gelatin, albumin, serum, and casein; poly (amino acids); polysaccharides such as cellulose (including carboxymethyl cellulose), dextran, chitin, chitosan, alginate and hyaluronic acid; glycosaminoglycans; gut; as well as chemical derivatives thereof (substitutions and/or additions of chemical groups, for example, alkyl, alkylene, hydroxylations, oxidations, and other modifications routinely made by those skilled in the art), copolymers, and combinations thereof.

Surgical tape 60 may be porous, non-porous, or a combination thereof. In embodiments, thesurgical tape 60 may be a film, foam, mesh, fibrous sheet, patch, or composite thereof including porous and/or non-porous layers of films, foams, and/or meshes. The term "porous" as used herein may define openings and spacings which are present as a surface characteristic or a bulk material property, partially or completely penetrating the surgical tape. Suitable materials for forming a porous substrate include, but are not limited to fibrous structures (e.g., knitted structures, woven structures, non-woven structures, etc.), foams (e.g., open or closed cell foams), and perforated films. Use of a porous substrate may allow for quicker healing through the openings formed therein. - In embodiments, the pores may be in sufficient number and size so as to interconnect across the entire thickness of the surgical tape. Woven fabrics, kitted fabrics, and open cell foam are illustrative examples of structures in which the pores can be in sufficient number and size so as to interconnect across the entire thickness of the substrate. In embodiments, the pores may not interconnect across the entire thickness of the substrate, but rather may be present at a portion thereof. Thus, in some embodiments, pores may be located on a portion of the surgical tape, with other portions of the surgical tape having a non-porous texture. Closed cell foam or fused non-woven materials are illustrative examples of structures in which the pores may not interconnect across the entire thickness of the substrate. Those skilled in the art reading the present disclosure will envision a variety of pore distribution patterns and configurations for the surgical tape.
